Akela

Akela is a beautiful 10-year-old girl who still has so much love to give! Her paperwork lists her as a Kelpie x Golden Retriever, although we believe she may have some German Shepherd in her too. She’s a medium size dog weighing about 23kg.

She’s a sweet, affectionate girl who loves human company and is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy her senior years.

Akela came to us as a stray dog so we don’t know much of her background.
She would love a peaceful home where she can enjoy spending time outdoors, relaxing and receiving plenty of love and attention.

She’s a very gentle, obedient and affectionate girl who enjoys human company. Although she hasn’t been tested with young children, she may be suitable for a family with older children.

Akela prefers her own space around other dogs and would be happy as the only pet in the home. She can be reactive/aggressive towards smaller dogs, so careful management is important. If her potential family already has another dog that is her size or bigger a proper introduction and compatibility would be essential before adoption.

Akela could also be a great companion for someone who works full-time, as she hasn’t shown any signs of separation anxiety. She’s comfortable spending time outside and can sleep outside or inside.

Akela is a loving, gentle girl with a beautiful personality. She’s affectionate and enjoys being around her humans.

She loves spending time outdoors but has recently started discovering the comforts of indoor living too!

Despite being 10 years old, Akela still enjoys her daily walks of 30 minutes to an hour and is more than happy to relax afterwards.

She’s an easygoing girl who doesn’t ask for much, just a little exercise, a comfortable place to relax and plenty of love.

Akela is easy to please and simply loves being around her humans whenever she can.

She’s also a great passenger in the car and travels well.

Akela is currently getting used to spending more time indoors and has been doing really well! She hasn’t had any toileting accidents inside, so she appears to be house-trained.

She enjoys her daily walks and may pull a little on the lead at first, especially when she’s excited to sniff around. Once she’s had a chance to explore, she settles down and walks nicely on the lead.

Akela would benefit from continued positive reinforcement training, particularly around managing her food guarding when other dogs are nearby.

Do you have room in your life to give a senior dog a lovely time in her retirement years?
